Not sure where this trend of two middle names is coming from, overall. Nonetheless, I'll give my opinions:

---

1. Like Patience and Phoebe, but can only tolerate Emily. Patience Emily can work, as can Patience Phoebe. No nicknames.

---

2. Like Violet, can tolerate Matilda (neutral on nickname Tilda, prefer Tillie), and will only like Lucy if it's a nickname for Lucille. Matilda Violet can work, as can Matilda Lucy and Lucy Violet.

---

3. Dislike Judah immensely as well as nickname Jude. Benjamin is fine, and so is Samuel. Samuel Benjamin, Samuel Judah, and Benjamin Judah can work.

I can honestly say that I love every single name! That said, I would change up the order of the girl combos a bit. I rather like:

---

Phoebe Matilda Violet and Lucy Patience Emily
OR
Lucy Matilda Phoebe and Violet Emily Patience

---

ETA: Lucy is a fave of mine and I recently thought of the combo Lucy Patience which I absolutely adore and would consider using in the future myself, given the chance.

I agree with some others that Patience Emily Phoebe doesn't sound as good together. I think it's the Phoebe.

---

I also think that Matilda Lucy Violet would flow better (if it were only 2 names, I'd vote for Matilda Violet, though)

---

What about Patience Emily Violet and Matilda Lucy Summer? or Patience Emily Thea and Matilda Lucy Violet? (poaching from your PNL haha)

---

Judah Benjamin Samuel is quite lovely in every respect.

Patience Emily Phoebe...Can I call her by her initials: Pep?? Then I'm all in! :) Patience Emily Phoebe doesn't have the best flow to me. I want it to be Patience Emily ____ with one syllable. But it's not bad either. Also, I love Phoebe and would totally prefer it in the first name spot, but that's just taste, I guess.

---

Matilda Violet Lucy is very sweet. Three name combos are much harder for my to appreciate than two name combos. They have to really just-so. And this one isn't. Matilda Violet is much better, I think, than Matilda Violet Lucy. Or Matilda Lucy.

---

Judah Benjamin Samuel. I think it's a bit silly to have three Old Testament names altogether in a combo. Just a mite over-kill-ish. I like each of the names individually, though.

---

Patience, Matilda, and Judah together are nice. Not too matchy, not too eclectic. Just great.

I like them all... though I think I like Matilda Lucy Violet better for flow.

---

Also - what nickname have you come up with for Patience? Patty just doesn't seem go with Tilda and Jude. Though, I suppose it could work.

---

Patience and Matilda are actually quite lovely together. Jude fits, but I am especially digging a Patience and Matilda sibset.
